TEHRAN (ANTARA) \u2013 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei\nsaid on Monday (12 October) that his country was reviewing the latest\npoints conveyed by the United States in response to Iran\u2019s position.\nIran would communicate its views to the mediators as soon as the review\nwas complete.<\/p>\n
At a weekly press conference in Tehran, Baghaei outlined the latest\nUS response, delivered to Iran through mediators, concerning Iran\u2019s\n\u201cseven-day plan\u201d. He added that the plan essentially calls for the\nrestoration of Tehran\u2019s legitimate rights.<\/p>\n
On 22 September, Iran submitted a plan to the United States to halt\nhostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal, subsequently\nknown as the seven-day plan, was delivered through mediators on the\nsidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in\nNew York.<\/p>\n
Baghaei listed several conditions Iran has set for reopening the\nStrait of Hormuz, including the lifting of the US naval blockade, an end\nto the war on all fronts, and the release of frozen Iranian assets.<\/p>\n
The conditions are included in a peace memorandum of understanding\n(MoU) signed by Tehran and Washington in June. Baghaei said they had not\nchanged and that Iran would not show any flexibility regarding its\nrights.<\/p>\n
According to the spokesman, the United States had previously put\nforward a number of demands and continued to claim that Iran\u2019s nuclear\nissue remained its primary concern.<\/p>\n
Iranian Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen\nRezaei said on Sunday (11 October) that the United States had accepted\nsome of the seven conditions proposed by Tehran for reopening the Strait\nof Hormuz. However, uncertainty remains over Washington\u2019s position on\nIran\u2019s other requirements.<\/p>\n
On 28 February, Israel and the United States launched a joint attack\non Tehran and several other Iranian cities. Iran retaliated with a\nseries of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel, as well as US\nbases and assets in the region. Iran also tightened its control over the\nStrait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
A ceasefire between the parties to the conflict was reached on 8\nApril. On 18 June, Iran and the United States signed an MoU on ending\nthe war across the region on all fronts.<\/p>\n
Under the MoU, the two countries were scheduled to hold talks within\n60 days, with a deadline of 17 August, to reach a final agreement on\nIran\u2019s nuclear programme and the lifting of sanctions.<\/p>\n
However, they failed to make sufficient progress towards an\nagreement, while tensions continued to rise.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/baghaei-iran-reviewing-latest-us-proposals-1791874489", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
